Özet

We describe two cases of chemical necrotizing fasciitis in the upper extremities, anterior chest wall and epigastric region of the abdominal wall caused by household insecticide injection. We suggest that surgical debridement can be successfully performed in the subacute period under close observation in hemodynamically stable patients.
